What Is This On The ISS ?!?

It most certainly is not a light reflection imo, that seems pretty obvious to me upon watching the video several times. There must be another
explanation. I don't really think it's some sort of "space bug" but I highly doubt it's a light reflection. Perhaps a stray piece of white cloth
or something, I don't know. I think people are just latching onto the light reflection theory because they can't think of anything else and that's
the easiest way to explain it.

Well I would exclude a light reflection...that thing "walks" like a snake or better, like a worm. The thing changes shape (from a kind of two-balls
shape to an almond one) and light reflections can't do that...

It really looks like a living creature. Is it maybe one of those white orbs often seen and filmed here on Earth taking a day-off in space?

a few years ago I saw a special on H2 where an astronaut told about there really being life out there in space. He spoke of snake like creatures and
said that one of the people up there was almost bit by it, so seeing something like this just sort of proves there may be giant worms, snakes or
whatever u[p there. Either way they couldn't pay me enough money to go up there. No way.

I actually found this a bit fascinating. I'm one of those who think that it's ignorant of us to think that with all of the planets, and all of the
galaxies, and all of the universes, it's a bit ignorant to think WE are the only ones that exist as life. Personally, I don't buy it. What else is
out there? I have no idea. Is it that worm like thing that was on the ISS? Is it the Grey's? Is a Higher Being we know as
God/Allah/Jehovah/etc...? I honestly do not know. I do suspect though that we are not alone, and I do not know if I should be afraid, or calmed by
this.

I remember the astronaut speaking about "space snakes," too and saw the footage. It was white and moved like a sidewinder but I thought it could be
a piece of fabric-like a strap, or belt and in zero-g with no air for friction the waves through the fabric wouldn't stop and would simulate a
life-like motion... however, I'd certainly expect an astronaut to know that... so...?

This thing certainly isn't "light" as light doesn't leave a shadow unless it's blocked, right? So it's cgi or some gel moving in zero-g or a
space mollusk. I thought it might be a huge blob of water until I realized water freezes in space...duh. Maybe someone broke a thermometer outside
the station?

Thanks for this post, it provides us with a good example of how the body of 'astronaut UFO lore' grows and self-elaborates purely from the dynamics
of verbal folklore.

I suggest you're giving us a garbled version of Story Musgrave's report - -with photographs -- of a rubbery strip of something seen outside a window
on two shuttle missions when his crew had just jettisoned an 'IUS' upper stage and payload. The question he always had was which part of the shuttle
had come off to look like that, not whether the thing was alive or not. He made it clear to a MUFON convention last summer that while he's convinced
alien civilizations exist way out there, he's personally never seen -- nor has any other astronaut he's ever talked to, seen -- any evidence that
such civilizations are visiting Earth.

That seems a whole lot different from the way you've improved the story. and your adding the delicious detail about an astronaut almost getting
'bit' by the 'snake' is a real gem, that of course Musgrave has never said. But what you have done, sincerely and creatively and with all good
intentions, is 'improve' an original story to make it sound even more 'unexplainable'.

Sadly, that makes you part of the problem, and not part of the solution, to understanding what's behind these kinds of stories.

I've never really encountered anybody who actually claimed that. I guess I'm ignorant of such people.

So.....it's a rubbery strip? Or wasn't that what you were trying to say?
